Actually I find the gtt looks blend without kit. Sorta like S15. But I do agree they will look awesome with some money spent just on body kits.

Anyway, a GTR will provide a better platform for everything imo. You dont have to do much to get the power + its already fat enough.

You'll be surprised at the way a stock GTR handles. Ask Rohan or Russel (Or the guy who I sold my car to, that's after he fixes his jaw back into place)

On the twisted sister and rattlesnake cruises, no GTST could keep up through corners :)

Put in some decent monotube coilovers, whiteline sway bars, lower it a tad...really you won't go back.

It's like high class hookers. :D

Nic_A31, I completely disagree about seats. R33 GTR seats are a million times better than R34 GTT ones. Way more comfy and supportive imho.

Agree with Brandon, 34's look plain with no kit. I was with a mate and pointed out a spoilerless 34 on the road, and he was like, wtf, thats a skyline?

I don't see whats wrong with using a GTR as a daily.... Its not as if its hard to drive =\

Or you could go for a limited edition tommy kaira like me....

Its just a case of tracking one down.....

I was finding it hard to decide to which to go for until i saw the tommy kaira pop up for sale..!!!

The GTR is sorta like my only car but I dont drive to work. In terms of comfort, I think its actually quite good. And yes, the seats are very nice. I was told when a few of my friends sat on them,and not just the front, even the rear seats.

+1, aaaand you get tonnes of legroom in the back for R33 GTRs.

With the tommy kaira, theres a R33 GTR tommy kaira on carsales.... :)

Yea only if you've got short legs like me... Hahaha. But seriously, the legroom isnt bad at all when you're comparing to the likes of say, rx7?

My GTR could be a bit of a hassle as a daily. So i am buying a daily car to make up for it, but this goes for any relatively high horspower car. Heavy clutches and shit day to day fuel consumption make for an expensive daily.

Unless you've got aftermarket clutch (which you'll require after 300 - 400kw?), I find the stock 1 pretty soft and nice actually. FC really depends on how much you can control your right foot... it varies significantly.

Lol he should go buy that is that the silver one? either way its a gtr and ubber rare being a tk edition!! Edited by GODZ1LLA

R33 GTR is a better car, better value for money... but uglier

R34 GTT is still a very good car...

By your original post your getting a loan... DO NOT BUY A GTR unless you have enough money to double the asking price for maintenance and repairs!!!

Go the R33 GTR, imo they look way better than any 34, especially with 18in BBS and lowering, just looks so tougher. oh and they are way faster, probably a downside in your case because it converts into more fuel consumption. but if you earn enough who cares.

Thats only if you bought a lemon. If so, the same applies to the GTT too.

Since my ownership, I have spend less than 1.5k on servicing. Thats including the 1k aircon fitting I've got.

Doesnt matter which one you end up getting, just make sure you're getting one thats of high quality.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
